The SCALEXIO system has a new hardware and software architecture to cover the future challenges of hardware-in-the-loop test systems. All the hardware is standardized and can be reused in all variations of SCALEXIO systems. 

dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size is a ready-to-use, standard HIL simulator for testing automotive ECUs systematically and automatically. The simulation model runs on the processor hardware (single-processor or multiprocessor systems). dSPACE Simulator Mid-Size generates and measures I/O signals via the integrated dSPACE I/O boards. The function range is complemented by load and failure simulation.  

dSPACE Simulator Full-Size is mounted in a 19” cabinet whose height depends on your requirements. The dSPACE processor boards and I/O boards are mounted in a standard PX20 Expansion Box. The PX20 Expansion Box provides 20 slots for dSPACE boards. An additional Expansion Box can be integrated on request. 

If in some HIL test cases, it is not possible to access the ECU only via its electronic interfaces, dSPACE offers services for highly dynamic test benches for mechatronic components and systems.

dSPACE provides a wide range of test systems for developing and testing ECUs for electric drives. Depending on the testing purpose and the project conditions, you can access the ECU at different levels, such as signal, electric power, and mechanical level.

For HIL testing, dSPACE offers a comprehensive range of software – from simulation models to configuration, experiment, and automation software as well as data management software.

With electrical failure simulation in a HIL environment, realistic electrical errors can be inserted in the device under test under repeatable conditions. The components of the dSPACE Failure Insertion Unit (FIU) are flexible enough to allow tests which are difficult to conduct under real-world conditions, such as open wire during braking.

From the first function tests with PC-based simulation, to HIL simulation, up to mechatronic test benches, dSPACE provides single-source test solutions that include a seamless tool chain, engineering, and support.

dSPACE offers a comprehensive tool chain for bus simulation in hardware-in-the-loop applications.

The dSPACE simulation models provide comprehensive simulation solutions for four application areas: combustion engines, electric components, vehicle dynamics, and traffic environment.
